Dashboard Header Category Selector

[EricS]

When I am doing a category selector in the header I am listing crew numbers as a dropdown option.  My problem is that the field is a text field and so the dropdown list in not in numerical or like 1,2,3,4,5 but rather it is like this 1,10,11,12.  I tried to configure it differently but was unsuccessful.  Any help would be great

Hi Eric,

This is by design, because your data is stored in a text field. I suggest you create a new integer attribute field in your dataset, then simply copy over the values from the text field to the new integer field. Then your values should appear correctly in the dropdown list.

Hope this helps,
